    Could anybody confirm that they had the same experience using the grip?

    I could be interested to get the grip if it really works like this.

    Yes, I was in a similar position having bought a used M9 from a private party. He had registered it on the Leica Owners Area, and for unknown reasons was reluctant to de-register it, an easy procedure.

    I've experimented and found that if I fit the Grip, I can hand hold for 2 stops longer in the portrait mode.

    I'm comfortable shooting below 1/100s, even 1/40s with some losses, whereas without the grip I try and stay shorter than 1/249s. Must be down to camera movement and of course this may only apply to me, but I've tested this enough to…[Read more]

    The other two really look amazing, sharp and nice contrast into the corners.
